a storm of CHANGE -- closed/private

[Yuki Kagerou]

The Demon Ice Queen of Kirigakure KAGEROU YUKI WORDS: 450+ TAG: You know who you are! MOOD: Museful! NOTES: Let the story being!

Today was a usual day for a certain pink haired ninja. As normal, she was doing her rounds and patrol around the Water Country. The day was boring because it was the same routine that happened yesterday and the weeks before that. Really, it was quiet irritating for Kagerou sometimes. Sometimes she want want to stab and stab something like crazy. But no, as a clan head, she had to maintain that aura of calm and confidence along with elegance. What else is suspected to be of a Yuki clan member, much less the leader of the clan? She now why her dear father, Yuki Mugetsu had to feel doing every day. He was the previous leader of the Yuki clan and a Seven Swordsmen of Mist. Kagerou, managed to obtained the status as leader of the clan and become a Seven Swordsmen as well. In fact, she obtained her father's sword Nuibari as well. Now, some people thought she was chosen just because she was the daughter of the previous Nuibari wielder. That greatly upsets and anger her, for they didn't know what she had to go through to get to the level that allowed her to obtain that sword! Anyhow, back to the main topic. Kagerou was currently sitting outside of a tea house, drinking some green tea. It was her routine. Take care of punks/bandits, keep people in line and out of trouble, and then go to her usual spot at the Green Dragon's tea house nearby the village gate and order some pastries and tea. "Hm, this tea is excellent as usual." Kagerou mumbled as she sipped her tea eagerly yet calmly. This part of the routine was the only good part of doing patrols. Now a days, those bandits just flee when they see her use a bit of Hyouton or wield Nuibari a bit. That is a bit amusing yet frustrating at the same time. Why? Because yes she like to avoid bloodshed, but she also love a good workout. A few people noticed Kagerou and waved as they passed by and some even bowed. Yes, being a noble member of the Damiyo's favored Yuki clan (much less the leader) and related to the current Mizukage helps. Kagerou stood out in some ways. She was dress in a modified blue and black kimono. The top was somewhat the same. Except it wasn't that loose. She was also wearing a knee length gray skirt with black leggings on her legs. With her pale skin yet bright hair, she looked pretty exotic to some people. "These days are a bore, I seem to have a same routine as always. When can I have something different in my life?" She sighed as she pushed her tea down and glanced up. Little did she know her life will change soon and take an interesting turn of events. The turn of events will lead to drama, heartache, laughter, and many more things to come.

Fife Ryoke ╡

Ryoke had awoke that morning in the woods, a wolf coming in close for the kill while he would have already had it sensed out with his sensory capacity before finally gripping a fork and with the swing she smiled and stuck it into that brain. A smile to his lips, the demon known throughout all of Iwa was slowly coming to an awakened state before having his eyes slowly and surely gaining some steady flow of knowing. He had never maintained a necessity of knowing something in this formal composition while his eyes finally focused in on the bleeding corpse of a wolf. Ryoke’s smile also maintained a decent control of certain maintenance while his body rose up from the ground. With a dusting off his body, he put the butler tailcoat on and began moving towards the edge of such scenery while his arm rolled and with a smile, he would gain a steady smile to this.

A blink of his eyes as he would begin walking over and towards the edge of such civilization, he heard parties going all night and did not wish to intrude on such things. The hunters he knew would probably find him if he ever did come in sight of such things. Ryoke gripped the edge of the bloody fork and began to polish and clean it. Formation of chemical clean only consisted of a few things after a small lick of the blood, “Eight months old, freshly aged and born. No deficiencies, yes a mammal worth of being dined upon.” Ryoke herself smiled and gained a steady subtle hand for this polish style as well while moving, not waiting his time with cooking yet as his tailored body moved with a decent array of footsteps along this very coarse and rough terrain.

“The Land of water. Yes, the very land that could be a welcoming ground for me however I only hope that this land does not try to kill me like those of the Earth Country,” His voice steady as he spoke before he would get onto the road. After finishing the polish of the fork before pocketing it as he found himself walking along a dirt path. A grin forming on his lips as he would pocket and look up, a smile to his lips as he moved and looked with a sight, a sight as he found something familiar to ease himself for. Ryoke popped his neck, easing himself into a normal tranquility as he popped his neck and made a small grin upon his face with a steady walk as he noticed someone who was all the tasty. Yes, who and tasty mixed together as Ryoke would merely look up and watch this person walk. In Ryoke’s tailcoat, he possessed all his weapons, his smile steady and his versatile arsenal all the more useful with the destroyed Iwa headband long gone off his person.

“Lady Kagerou!” A voice interrupted Kagerou's tea and snack time in a meek voice. The land of Water knows very well how Kagerou hated to be interrupted during her snack and sleeping time. So some are easily terrified of what will happen if she goes off on them. Will she freeze them or skewer them? Or maybe a combination of both? Who knows?

Kagerou looked up and took a deep breath. What was the technique that her father taught her in times like this...? Oh yeah. One...Two...Three. Inhale, exhale. Kagerou gives a cough and looks up at the villager who was terrified of what will happen next. “What is it?” Kagerou sighed as her voiced laced with fake sweetness and was dashed with irritation. “What can I help you with?” Even if she was polite and somewhat calm, her tone said to hurry it up.

“Um..bandits are said to be causing trouble in the woods nearby. We think they might cause us some trouble. Please take care of them?” The village said before bowing quickly,turned around, and scurried away. Well, it look like he didn't wait in time for Kagerou's response. A small snarl escaped Kagerou's dainty lips, revealing her sharp teeth. A faint frown appeared on her pale face.  “BANDITS...again?” Kagerou sighed as she rubbed her forehead. She rolled up the sleeves of her kimono and shook her head. Time to get to work, using her natural speed, she managed to arrived at the woods.

When she did arrived, she heard something in the distance. Could it be bandits? She quickly ran towards the direction to see...a man wearing butler like clothes and a dead wolf. Hm, he seemed harmless but she can't be so sure of that. She wasn't a sensor type so she couldn't check that way. So she probably had to keep her guard up. “My, it seems like you come across a mess.” Kagerou said in a cheerful tone. “Tell me, are you from around here? Because from your appearance, you don't seem to be native to the Water Country. Perhaps a tourist?” With that said, she was leaning on a long wrapped object that was almost as tall as her.

“Anyhow, I hate to be rude, but I hope you can find your way to civilization. Some bandits are about here if you don't know.” Kagerou said before she suddenly stopped talking and glanced at the man. She swiftly pulled off the cloth wrapped around the thin and tall object she was leaning on, revealing the object to be none other Nuibari.

She then threw the sword like a javelin, soaring just a few inches from Ryoke's head, and it kept soaring diagonally for 30 feet before a startled cry was heard. A loud thump was head and a body rolled on the floor, with brains gushing out. It seemed Nuibari's pierced right through the head on the mark. With a flick of her wrist, pulling the wire, Nuibari returned back to Kagerou's awaiting right hand.

“Like that one.” Kagerou said cheerfully before her eyes glinted as she looked around. She was lucky she could see the glittering metal from even a far distance. The bandit she just killed seemed to be pointing an arrow at the mysterious guy. As soon as she said that, Kagerou noticed that the thicket moved and a large amount of bandits emerged from the woods. She glanced around and sighed. “Rounin. Why Rounin of all things?” Kagerou sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. “I suggest leaving now if you can. I don't want a civlian or tourist getting hurt. That is troublesome...”

Ryoke already had these bastards in his mind, having sensed them moments before they even drew an arrow. Granted he also sensed the woman that would approach him and speak to him, inquiring him. Ryoke only utilize some of this information, wanting to appear as civilian as possible when this woman started speaking to him. He smirked with a shrug, her eyes watching her with a curiosity in his red eyes while he popped his neck and smiled. “You are right miss. I am not of this land however a tourist is also not what I am.” His words semi-cryptic while holstering a semi thoughtful sense of what he was capable of in a sense. While then he was stopped in his speaking, when the woman pulled out what looked like a spear until he noticed it uncovered. It was the famed Nuibari blade, the stitching sword.

He could only dream of fighting it one day with his capabilities while his senses allowed him to notice and hold tight the steady thoughts as he watched this woman decimate a few of the bandits he had sensed. The Mind’s Eye of Kagura having itself fluidly active during the entirety of this time that allowed him to have a feel for them. He watched her reel that blade back before she noticed just a few small things. Ryoke felt an additional force, a many bandits show themselves and now also with this woman trying to say that he should leave, that would allow him to smile, holding a single dining knife out of the folds of his jacket. With a twitch of his wrist, and he revealed four more following as if like folding out a fan. “Miss, I believe I can handle myself quite well now that I’ve had a bit of fresh blood.”

An indication to the wolf below. His eyes closing and then an arrow coming in, a smile to his lips when he caught it with his unarmed hand. Funneling a small amount of chakra through it, he would throw it directly at the mob of foolish ronin whom had little to no chakra at all. However, what Ryoke did was subtle and not even noticed save by those with enough chakra knowledge to understand genjutsu. Ryoke moved with a subtle movement of his body with the single throw having placed the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique for all those who witnessed the arrow’s path. Ryoke of course was not affected but he could gauge the opponent’s capability to fight under duress with this, as their worst fears would be realized and come alive. This was a simple technique to utilize and decimate opponents with their own fear.

Some of these samurai screamed, hollering and bellowing their fears while Ryoke knew that this girl who used Nuibari should be able to get out of it if she saw the arrow but he always wondered just what fear such a person as that would have. Ryoke himself walked and moved forwards with a subtlety to the knowledge he held. “Fear, let it eat you alive and you will find yourself in a near dead state,” his voice filtered while he held the knives accordingly while moving with a steady foothold while feeling the ronin’s fears fill up the air. He relished in knowing that their fears were being realized, more than that, their fears were just slowly becoming worse. The leaves they all noticed swirl around them just the beginning prior to the real fears they held at heart swarm them, engulf them in full mental agony while he would walk forwards towards the group. His calm demeanor as he allowed it to actually seem like the mere look of him holding daggers allowed him to appear more threatening, as to hide the fact, he used genjutsu.

Kagerou raised a slender eyebrow at the mysterious man's reaction to Nuibari. It seemed he recognized her sword. So he had a shinobi background maybe? But she spotted no headband. Maybe he is a wandering ninja or missing nin? Hm, she gotta investigate this later. Hm, what to do next? She blinked at his response.'Bloodthirsty type huh?' Kagerou though as she heard him talk about him being fine with blood.

"I see. Hope you are not gluttonous about sftermath of your meal though." Kagerou sighed as she scanned the area. Suddenly, she felt the trace of chakra in the air other for herself for a split millisecond. Odd, seems like there was Genjutsu casted a few seconds ago. Yet, it wasn't aimed at her. So she was right, this mysterious man was a ninja..maybe. Or had ninja training at least. Anyway, she guess she could take care of himself.

"Hey, do you mind giving me a name to call you by?" Kagerou said as she in a bored tone as she jabbed Nuibari behind her and began stringing along corpse after corpse on her wire lazily. "I don't want to sound rude, but calling you "Hey You!" sounds rude."

'At least this way I can deduce something about this guy' Kagerou though as she tried to narrow down facts. He didn't have Kiri ascent or skintone, so probably not from Kiri. She didn't know about the other villages well enough. But she guess she can cross out Kumogakure from the list. "Well, that leaves two crossed out and some others to go." Kagerou mumbled to herself.

"HEY! B****!" A large burly rounin exclaimed and pointed at her sword. "You are sure you are a sword user? I bet you didn't even earn your way to your rank, if you know what I mean." Yep. He said she either bought her way up or did THAT to get up. At that comment, Kagerou froze and a fierce cold glare appeared on her features. Did he just..call her that? And what did he say what she did? That broke the camel's back.

She turned out slowly, with a sweet sickly smile. Her face was blank besides her smile. "Oh? I admit, your puny peon brain don't comprehend my work." Kagerou said in a cheerful tone. The air become colder all the sudden, while the ground began to gain frost around her.

She quickly tossed Nuibari on her back and preformed handseals rapidly and ended at bird. "You need to chill out and revise your opinion." With the handseals done, she activated her technique instantly. She pointed a palm at the Rounin and all a sudden, a barrage of ice needles of ice aimed at the rounin and the poor unfortunate groupies that were nearby. Ka-boom! The ice needles in the shape of sparrows exploded, and all was left was a ice covered dead body of the rounin with a few goons covered in 1st degree frostbite. “Oh? You didn't like my Hyōton: Tsubame Fubuki?” Kagerou said with a pout as the Rounin's allies glared. “Well, that is what you get for calling me that.” With that she gave a huff and pulled back Nuibari. Time to get back into action,

Gluttonous, oh yes to always hunger for blood and meat and so on. No, Ryoke was not going to delve that deep into the cesspit that has come to be known as rogue hood. His body was not meant for that kind of thing. His smile did come across his face none the less while he was walking towards the several ronin that were trapped inside his genjutsu. Such an easy genjutsu too, all the while he had pulled out a single knife, handling it almost like a kunai or a short sword as he moved with such divine grace. His head had turned back to look at the girl though, she had asked for his name. Ordinarily he would give out his name but with this he would turn to her, and bow slightly, “You may call me whatever it is that you envision me being. I am one with no name of consequence as no one has the will to call me by name up to date.”

Yes, that would do nicely. Ryoke smiled, turning on his heel as he began to slice the necks of the many ronin that were still trapped in his genjutsu. All the while his body danced around them with a grace of which their flailing bodies and scattering blood never touched him. Keeping his Mind’s Eye of Kagura active allowed this to always be a safe feature for him while moving about with a calm discerned mentality. A subtle grin on his face as the knife in hand was bloodied further. He did seem to pick up the conversation between one ronin and the girl, but it was nothing that he cared for as he was going to kill the person if this girl did not kill him ahead of schedule, as it seemed.

He did however feel the change in temperature through his mind’s eye, and the way it felt when he noticed that the girl was using ice ninjutsu. That piece was enough for him to grin at and wonder just who this girl was and what she was doing with such a weapon as Nuibari. Ryoke finished the final of the many ronin stuck in his trap before finding himself being a target to a fire ball. Ryoke dodging slightly to the left though the sleeves of his right arm singed slightly. “Eighty two percent cotton, eighteen percent polyester, and fifteen thousand yen worth of labor just to make this jacket and you believe you can just burn it? Who do you take me for?” Ryoke turned and froze, his eyes spying that one of these ronin happened to be a youngster, about sixteen by the looks of her and a small sword to boot.

Ryoke smiled, his eyebrows lifting as he would stare into those eyes and only smile. The poor lass will never forget the look of his eyes. Ryoke threw the knife, it cutting a thin line along the girl’s neck to which his body seemed to just get there in time to catch her with a bite of his teeth into her neck, the dagger the girl held was restrained by him gripping her wrist. The other arm twirling to snake and head-lock pin the girl to where the neck was more exposed; his teeth gnawing at the neck, her body going limp and soon dead as well from his actions that led to her neck breaking and a well fitted desert to him. This will have occurred without any witnesses save three, Kagerou and two ronin; one of which was more than likely, the girl’s father. A neckerchief dabbing the blood away from his lips as he was clean all elsewhere of blood and harm, “Delicious.”

Kagerou didn't even blink as her temporarily partner in battle moved with such grace and elegance. Yep, definite experience in battle. He wasn't a helpless victim or civilian that for sure. She had to admit too, he was easy on the eyes. But that doesn't mean she should relax and trust him easily. No way.

When he said he will respond to a temporarily name, she blinked. No one exactly called him by his name? That sucked. Or maybe, he was in trouble somehow and thus..he couldn't give out his name? Anyhow, she need to call him something. "Hm, okay then tourist," at the word tourist, it was as if she was teasing him. As she said that, she strung along corpse after corpse in a dancing like way. Well, a graceful dance for someone dancing solo that is. A dance of blood, guts, and corpses. "Guess I am calling you Mr.Kuro then for now."

She blinked when he saw his reaction to her having both Nuibari AND ice release. Hm, is it that bad to have both? Either way, it doesn't matter. She is a Seven Swordsmen of Mist and that is how things are.Her dear father, the previous wielder of Nuibari, was the one for created the basics for fighting with Nuibari. However, Kagerou futher evolved it, creating a style of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu together.

She didn't even move or flinch at Mr.Kuro's reaction to the rounin girl. Yes, she was young. probably around 16 and born into that life. However, life is short and sometimes not sweet. People die daily and things happen. She however, noticed that the father look enraged. It also turned out the man with the father was...another relative.

"Okay, nice of you to take a snack. But isn't it rude to eat when you have an audience and yet not share?"Kagerou sighed as she gave a soft chuckle. But she glanced at the brother and father, they both glared at her and Mr.Kuro. "Hm, they didn't enjoy my comment nor your feast I am guessing..."

With that comment said, Kagerou blinked as the brother rushed at Kagerou. The father in the meantime rushed at Mr.Kuro. Klash and swash! Metal grinded against metal. Nuibari against Katana. Normally Nuibari can slice through normal metal....but this guy..."Chakra reactive metal with samurai skills?" Kagerou mumbled. Who are these two..?

Meanwhile, the father quickly pulled out a sword from the scabbard and attacked in one fluid motion at Mr.Kuro. He attacked with a sideways attack from the scabbard and following up with a sword slice slight higher at the same side. Oddly enough, the scabbard and sword didn't seem like normal metal. It didn't seem like steel, iron, or that type of metal. Yet at the same time, it too had the chakra reactive metal properties..odd.

Mister Kuro, which was not a name he was expecting to be called. None the less, it was quite fitting for him as he smiled and eased a steady and sublime grin while smoothly watching these two. Listening to this woman speak though, that was enough for him to judge and estimate with a grin as the father and seeming brother to the girl he just dropped to the ground dead was enough to irk them both. “Oh yes, I do not think either of these fools liked it.” He could call them fools but as he deactivated his Mind’s Eye of Kagura with notice of how these two felt with their chakra capacity. They were not all too strong in chakra but they were both able to leave his genjutsu earlier. That was enough for him to wonder just who these two were in such a situation as this with how it was.

Ryoke followed through with a smile and ease of his general knowledge when noticing the two split up and attack. Ryoke on the other hand only performed a small systematic defense pattern when the idiotic father seemed to slash at him. The slash though came faster than expected when Ryoke took into account that the blade was amplified by chakra, the slash coming through and swiping at his midriff while dodging the second slash to a degree it was not as life threatening. However, there was something different there, the way his body tightened and struggled with the cuts as he struggled to remain standing. His body was having an allergic reaction to the metal while a hand gripped the cuts. His eyes looking and glaring at the man. “Gold, you seriously have a golden blade. You are well prepared for who you are,” a growl gripping his lips.

Ryoke’s face was furrowed in anguish and pain before he would relax a deluxe of dangerous ideas in his mind prior to further utilizing his chakra. “You will pay dearly for that.” His eyes glaring and charka funneling through as he would use a single genjutsu, “Hey girly close your eyes for a second.” The one side of him never that showed much as a crude side. He rushed forwards with a delicately formed smile on himself. The rushing was all he needed with a funnel of chakra in two forks as he shot them towards the brother and the father. The genjutsu he used was a powerful and dangerous jutsu to which it was the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, which shrouded both the foolish beings in a genjutsu. This was while he threw a knife into each of these men to their hearts. This all done prior to him falling to one knee gripping his gut, the deeper cut. “Damn gold,” cursing himself as he lost consciousness falling to the ground fully with a closed up throat.

 Yep. Mister Kuro seem to be highly suprised by his name. It was either Spade, Karasu, or something else. But Kuro seem to fit him best in her opinion. I mean, black hair and suit along with pale skin, so yes. It suited him well. Though it was odd. Some Rounin bandits knowing chakra control. She should report this to Lord Mizukage, Yuki Teiji. She blinked as the father managed to land a hit on Kuro. It seemed that the slash was faster then expected. That is a surprise, with his skill level, he should be much stronger then this and be able to dodge it. Did he underestimate his opponent?

When she was about to make a wise ass comment, she noticed something was off. His body seemed to tightened and struggled, and Kuro-san seem to have trouble..standing? 'Must be because of that odd blade.' Kagerou thought as she stared at he Rounin's blade with a curious gaze. At the world gold, Kagerou blinked again. So Kuro-san was allergic to gold? That is bad. When attacked with something one is allergic to, that is even worse then suspected. Just about she was about to rush over and help, he called out to her. Calling her girly?!? That was rude. She was probably as old as him. HMPH! But she complied to the wishes and closed her eyes. When she heard a loud thud, she saw the father was on the ground dead. With a knife at the heart along with the brother. She raised an eyebrow, impressed.

However, she quickly remembered the problem. She quickly rushed to Kuro-san, but was too late and saw him fall onto the ground. She managed to arrive at his side and placed a hand at his neck. His throat was closed. What should she do...? Sighing,she relented to help out. 'Let's see..low chakra. Bad stomach wound..and an allergic reaction to gold.' Kagerou thought with a sigh. Looks like she got her work up for her.

She took a deep breath and placed her lips onto Kuro-san's and gave him a deep kiss, a french one to be exact. She stayed there some moments as she transfered some chakra. If he was awake, he could sense her emotions: worry, concern, with some frustration. I mean, he did sorta help her out with those Rounin. So why shouldn't she be concerned and worried? As she did this, she used her hands to carefully pull out the metal flakes out from the stomach wound and in the meantime, temporarily bandage and somewhat switch the wound close.

Suddenly, she heard gasps behind her. Quickly, she got Kuro and looked around. She saw some villagers crowded around the scene and blushing. She glared at them, with an icy aura surrounding her caused by her Hyouton chakra. They saw it? How humiliating! As she thought this, she gave a hard slap on Kuro's face. "Wake up already." She hissed in a harsh tone.

The gold coursed through his body, the way it seemed to destabilize just one molecular atom of blood into the many others, much akin to osmosis and mitosis. The feeling flooding through his body, concentrating through the cortex inside his gut as he felt the wrenching tightness of the allergy. It fueled his rage and made the blood flow faster. He needed whatever was poisoning him out, his hand shaking before he had fallen. Her breath taken, his eyelids open as if dead yet eyes were rolled back. The things that followed though, that was what came unexpectedly as the very thing that occurred would leave an imprint on him. Something much akin to a life debt yet in the same time he could only vaguely keep it in mind as a smaller pocket of arrangement inside him when he felt the lips to his. Pulling his mind out of the fog yet his eyes still rolled back and fatigue flowing in through him.

What roused him were not the delicately sweet lips of the girl, or the French kiss that had occurred. Rather, he felt chakra flowing into his body of the manner. The chakra that flowed with a carriage of emotion. Emotions of worry, a worry that Ryoke had not known for years, ever since his wife’s departure from this world. That was what woke him because he thought his wife was the one kissing him awake like she had done so many times when they were newlyweds. This followed by the wrenched feeling in his is with that hand splurging in and ridding his wound of the metallic flakes of gold. Bandaging it as well. That was when he truly felt the emotions flood in. Concern and frustration alike. This was all far too odd for the rogue of Iwa to comprehend.

It was then that Ryoke heard a voice calling in the back of his mind, crawling with a dignified and very significant result to him as well. This mental capacity drove him up the wall when he felt the cold around the outside. His eyes closing when the wound was stitched closed temporarily. The slap to the face though, that made him wide awake though he did not show it as he spoke, “Your lips were soft yet had a tenderness quite dreamy. I take it you have not kissed someone in say eight years or so?” He expected this to cause her to feel some more embarrassment while he could feel the many individuals around them without really using his sensory perception gifts. He asked, “If you would like to get out of here as swiftly as possible take hold onto my tailcoat.” Whether or not she did, he would use his feet to kick off backwards ten feet prior to a spin on his heel, if she was still hold on he’d take her bridal carriage style and jump through the trees for eighty meters until of course falling from exhaustion with his stitched wounds spilling over.

When Kuro woke up, Kagerou let out a sigh of relief. That was good, she didn't want he guilt of his death on her shoulders. That would be pretty nasty on her conscious since he didn't really have to die if shew as faster and quicker. Still, how embarrassing it was for the crowd to see her use that damn chakra transfer skill on a stranger of all things.

At this comment, she flushed in rage and embarrassment yet again. How dare he..?!? She tried to help him out and got embarrassed out of it because of that damn guy and now these comments? How foul and how rude. She is starting to get irritated with that guy.

"Yes, you are correct about me not having kissed someone for a few years." Kagerou grumbled out reluctantly and gave a distant look. Yes, this guy was like the only second or third guy she kissed..willingly. So she is embarrassed that she had to kiss..er..chakra transfer with a total strange of all things.

"Just how you are going to get out of here-whoa!" With that said, she instinctively grabbed onto his tailcoat and was hoisted into the air. Soon, she found herself in the air carried bridal style. She quickly closed her eyes shut and clutched to the nearest object. She was always unconformable with traveling in high places.

Suddenly, she open her eyes. They landed, from what she can see, they are eight meters away from where they last stood. It must because of the stitched wounds getting spilling over. She glanced around, and noticed something. She was very close to Kiri. "Hm, I don't know who you truly are yet.." Kagerou sighs as she calmed down. Her face returned to it's normal pale colored features. "But I guess we should stitch your wounds up now Kuro." But just as she said that, she noticed Kuro collapsed. She gave out a loud sigh and rolled up her kimono sleeves.

"Alright, time to get you somewhere safe." Kagerou said with a smile as she shunshined infront of a town, with Kuro on her back. Kagerou managed to arrvive at an inn, and when showing her Shinobi ID, she managed to get a room tempoarily for a discounted price. The joys of her multiple title and positions no?  Anyhow, she managed to get a large three part room. On one of the two bends, she carefully placed Kuro on.

With that done, Kagerou opened one of the pouches on her waist bag on her waist and pulled out..a first aide kit. "Alright, time to take care of that wounded gash of yours."  With that said, she reached out and pulled the necessary supplies. A new sterilized needle, some thread, some anti-infection spray, and some bandages. She also brought out some other supplies as well.

"Guess I can take care of your wounds now, when you are unconscious." Kagerou said with a smile, a tired yet warm one. Oh man, the clan is going to go bonkers when the hear the rumors. Her, clan leader and Seven Swordsmen of Mist, kissing a stranger in public. Now, that wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't known for her romance/love hating ways. As she thought this, she managed to fully stitch, seal, sterilize, and bandage Kuro's wound. She finally layed a wet cloth on his forehead before heading towards a sink to wash her bloody hands.

"Man, the elders are going to freak out..." Kagerou sighed as she prepared the needle and thread. She was humming to herself as she washed her hands. Hearing these news, the clan elders would probably bother her to produce a clan heir and get married to some influential and rich brat.

[Fife Ryoke]

Fife Ryoke ╡

Ryoke did not expect to have such knowledge divulged to him. Then again, he did not expect a swordsman to utilize a weapon made up of a soft metal either so today was a series of many miscalculations. Ryoke’s eyes were already fashioned to close though when he found himself slipping up and landing onto the ground eighty meters away. For some reason though she brought up his name once more, saying how she did not fully know him yet and although that was true, she should know enough by now to get by after healing him right? He found himself being called Kuro again, the collapse he made causing the girl to think of a safe place for them to go to a better location. Of all places, Ryoke did not expect an inn to be a ‘safe’ place to go. He has not had the greatest of luck with inns and that would happen to be one of the many reasoning out there.

A nifty room, not like most inns so that was good to know when he was set onto one of the two beds. His stomach growled, it had been five days since he had a real meal and not blood of animals and peoples. It was enough to go off to know that hunger was one of the small problems Ryoke had currently while he was still semi-conscious when she worked on him. The needle and thread working and moving about to sew up his wounds. His eyes maintained tranquility about them while it occurred and happened. Ryoke eventually found himself opening his eyes slowly at first, taking in the light as he looked around and felt the damp cloth placed onto his forehead. Just of the many small subtleties, that was not laid out in marking yet.

He closed his eyes once more when he heard her walk off, the sound of running water and her voice saying something about how the elders were going to freak out. Ryoke wondered about that and with the activation of his mind ’s eye, he soon found the reasoning to some. A troubled soul it would seem. The influential structure of robbed emotion as he wondered and pondered on it quietly and curiously with him at his best it would seem to some extent. Granted he did not do things unexpectedly, so now his eyes remaining closed, he would breathe in and out with recollection of all that had happened today. From the moment he felt her chakra and emotions to now, it was already as if he were to make due and be a different person but all the things that had happened decided just what he was going to do.

“I owe you my life on more than one account. So I will do something I normally do not do for anyone at all if you will permit me in doing so,” His voice soothingly and smoothly drawing out another breath of a voice, “Do you wish to make a contract?” He asked with a voice like ink.
